Quick, hide behind the couch, it's another one of those damned memes

Three factors are working against me: 1). I am a sheep, 2). I am at work and horribly bored and not wanting to write my monthly report, and 3). I am insanely curious and already wonder what sorts of questions people might want to ask.

So.

Ask me a question about anything--fandom, real life, music, vegetables, etc--and I will answer you and then ask YOU a question. The whole process could be repeated if anyone wants to keep it up. If this works, by the end we could know each other so well we're sick of each other and have to quit one another for a while.

Ahahaha.

Oh, man. This question. *snerks* *loves*

I was thinking and thinking and thinking about who to choose, and I kept dismissing all the book/movie/TV characters because I wasn't sure I could successfully pull off something so clearly laid out. That, and all the ones I most wanted at the time were already around.

And I was remembering my fondness for folklore and myth and religions-that-are-not-Judeo/Christian/Islamic, and I thought, HEY! I could play Raven. Because he doesn't freak me out as much as Coyote, and he's a bird, and I already have a picture of him in my head!

Keep in mind that at the time I pictured him as a tall dark laughing man who played tricks with a smirk on his face and a more-than-vaguely dirty mind. Also he was meant to be a lighthearted character to help me get my feet wet before tackling a 'real' character.

Hence the laughter inspired by the question. *facepalms*

What is it that attracts you to playing particular pups? Storyline? Character? Giant Mac truck plot-holes?

*giggles*

Well, of the six I'm currently playing, two were requests, and one was less a request and more a tempt.

Mostly I play characters that I feel I can somehow relate to. Nita and I are both teenaged, bookwormy, fairly creative and intelligent types. Ann and I both act. Charles and I have a more esoteric literary knowledge than Nita. Carmela (when I actually play her *facepalm*) lets me ignore the bounds of reason and restraint, much like when I improv.

I can't really explain why Guinevere and Eustace -- the two requests -- are as strong in my head as they are. I think Eustace and I share a certain insecurity in our abilities/personalities. Guinevere and I both love, but I doubt I could do some of the things she did -- like cheat on my husband, or leave behind my son.


Coke or Pepsi?

[varadia]

Pepsi.

Though I prefer Diet Coke to Diet Pepsi.

I blame the Evil.

Ummm, if, at this moment, you could be anywhere doing anything, what and where would it be?

[adiva_calandia]

In a coffeeshop, with a latte, RPing away. And one outta three at this moment ain't bad. :) I am easily pleased.

If not that, probably back backstage with the Anne cast. *sigh* I miss them, and it's been all of 24 hours.

Current music?

[varadia]

Kane, Rattlesnake Smile and assorted Laura Veirs.

Favorite music?

[adiva_calandia]

I hate that question. Most of the stuff I listen to is random stuff grabbed off our dearly departed Millitunes.

But, um. Anything with good words that I can sing along to. Musicals, Queen, Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, the Beatles, the Who, Rufus Wainwright . . .

What would be your dream date?

[varadia]

Uh. Going to see a movie, mocking the movie afterwards, heading to the bookstore, mocking books, going for dinner, continuing discussion and mockery, heading back for hot chocolate and snuggles.

I am easy.

What's your favorite part about working in the theater?

[adiva_calandia]

Really, it's a tie between being the center of attention, and being around people who are almost without exception pleasant and entertaining.

Hmm. What makes you pick up a book in a store?
